Apple iPhone Collection By digitalBoy:
iPhone combines three amazing products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.

Sweet, glorious specs of the 11.6 millimeter device (that’s frickin’ thin, by the way) include a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display with multi-touch support and a proximity sensor to turn off the screen when it’s close to your face, 2 megapixel cam, 4GB or 8 GB of storage, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP, WiFi that automatically engages when in range, and quad-band GSM radio with EDGE. Perhaps most amazingly, though, it somehow runs OS X with support for Widgets, Google Maps, and Safari, and iTunes (of course) with CoverFlow out of the gate. A partnership with Yahoo will allow all iPhone customers to hook up with free push IMAP email. Apple quotes 5 hours of battery life for talk or video, with a full 16 hours in music mode — no word on standby time yet.

Apple iPhone Press Release:

Apple iPhone Reviews:

CNET Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “With only one hardware control (a “home” key), iPhone’s real estate is dominated by a huge, 3.5-inch display. From what we call tell, the device looks beautiful with a resolution of 320×480x160 pixels per inch (the highest iPod resolution yet, according to Jobs). The videos and photos look great, and we love that the “smart” screen shifts automatically to a landscape orientation when you start to play a video. One giant touch screen controls the phone, and no stylus is needed.”

NYTimes Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “But the bigger achievement is the software. It’s fast, beautiful, menu-free, and dead simple to operate. You can’t get lost, because the solitary physical button below the screen always opens the Home page, arrayed with icons for the iPhone’s 16 functions.The two-megapixel camera takes great photos, provided the subject is motionless and well lighted . But it can’t capture video. And you can’t send picture messages (called MMS) to other cellphones.”

USAToday Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “One of the best features is visual voice mail. It lets you prioritize the messages you hear first — from your spouse or boss, say — rather than listen in the order in which messages arrived. Just tap on caller names to hear their message; tap “call back” to return the call.IPhone comes with a decent 2-megapixel digital camera. But it lacks a flash or zoom and doesn’t let you shoot video. Taking pictures is a tad awkward.”

Newsweek Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Web-browsing is where the iPhone leaves competitors in the dust. It does the best job yet of compressing the World Wide Web on a palm-size device. The screen can nicely display an entire Web page, and by dragging, tapping, pinching and stretching your fingers you can zero in on the part of the page you want to read. The 2-megapixel camera works decently. It’s easy to send a picture, make it your wallpaper or—this is neat—assign it to a contact…”

AllThingsDigital Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The iPhone’s most controversial feature, the omission of a physical keyboard in favor of a virtual keyboard on the screen, turned out in our tests to be a nonissue, despite our deep initial skepticism.The iPhone is missing some features common on some competitors. There’s no instant messaging, only standard text messaging. While its two-megapixel camera took excellent pictures in our tests, it can’t record video…”

PCmag Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Call quality isn’t up to par, key messaging features are missing, and that virtual keyboard is really frustrating. If it’s fun you want to have, however, this is basically an iPod with Internet, YouTube, beautiful graphics, a camera, and a huge screen—it can also make calls and check email.The iPhone’s 2-megapixel camera has no options. The interface has one button; touch it and the iPhone will quickly take a 2-megapixel, 1200 by 1600 picture…”

PhoneArena Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The camera interface is very simple. There are only two options available: take a picture or view the pictures. Anyone expecting something more complicated or with more settings will be disappointed.When using the browser, you can zoom into any point on the screen by double tapping on the screen. There is no real way to control the amount of zoom…”

GadgetLab Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “You can view, but not edit Office documents. And while additional applications are available to extend the iPhone’s capabilities, developers can’t directly access the underlying operating system, which means the full range of potential is still subject to Apple’s omnipresent control. In other words, it’s far more open and customizable than the typical phone, but far less so than the typical computer.”

Yahoo Tech Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The display is hands-down the centerpiece of the device. I’ve never seen anything like it in years of testing cell phones. Imagine the best and brightest laptop screen you’ve ever seen, then shrink it down. That’s what the iPhone looks like, and the glass overlay makes it even clearer. No other phone comes close. The screen smudges easily, of course, but it wipes right off on your shirt or pants.”

Seattle Times Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “It’s fun to dial with the touch screen, but there were shortcomings. Amid stalled traffic at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, I tried calling my parents and using the speakerphone. Even at maximum volume, I couldn’t hear what was being said.The iPhone makes it easy to view and e-mail photos, but its camera doesn’t zoom, take video or capture as many pixels as some other high-end phones. It will soon seem rudimentary.”

Apple Insider Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “While the iPhone’s Safari is very good, there are a variety of web features that do not work, some due to assumptions made by web developers that all their viewers are all on desktop PCs equipped with a mouse…Having a much larger screen with a much higher resolution (480×320 at a very sharp 160 dpi) means the iPhone is actually very good at playing videos. Its touchscreen sensitivity feels perfect; it does not require applying any pressure. It does require using a naked finger, as the screen senses electrical capacitance…”

Pocket-Lint Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Well the iPhone doesn’t have GPS receiver built-in, or the 5 megapixel camera with video capabilities and Flickr and Vox plug-ins. The music offering and software interface is certainly better however. The iPhone connectivity with iTunes (version 7.3 of course) is a breeze and anyone who has used an iPod will be right at home with the music software. Additionally Google Maps although sucking power like a leech is also very good. You just don’t get GPS.”

MobileTechReview Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The iPhone has a very high resolution display by phone and iPod standards: 480 x 320 pixels at 160 dpi. That means video looks great, text is super-sharp and you can see quite a bit of a web page using Apple’s excellent Safari web browser built into the phone. The display isn’t just for looking it: it’s a touch screen… unfortunately, the iPhone doesn’t have 3G, Instead, the iPhone has EDGE which averages 90 - 150k.The bright spot is WiFi: the iPhone has 802.11b/g for much faster web browsing and email downloads.”

RegHardware Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Loading standard web pages wasn’t a problem with Wi-Fi, but it certainly was with Edge. I’ve used my iPhone for half an evening, and already, I wish it had faster wireless access. I’m also wishing it had a better camera. Even in good light, its two-megapixel shooter is dreadful.”

DigitalTrends Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Equally intelligent is the predictive text behind the keyboard, the best we’ve seen. You won’t need it for Web addresses because you get a widescreen keypad that limits errors. But the email keypad appears only on the bottom half of the screen in landscape mode, and numbers and frequently used punctuation are annoyingly are on a second screen.”

MobileBurn Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The much hyped Visual Voicemail system in the iPhone is very nice. Messages are organized by name or number and can be played just as any locally stored music clip would.As far as the audio quality is concerned, it sounds perfectly fine to me, but I’m no expert.The Apple iPhone has a built-in 2 megapixel still camera that takes pretty nice photos in general. The Photos application is very clever. It makes browsing photos an absolute joy. Photos are copied to and from the device using iTunes and the photos are organized into the Camera Roll…”

Gizmodo Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The text is nice and large, and browsing lists with either flicking or, in the case of longer lists, using the alphabet on the right is fast. If you tilt the phone to either the left or the right, you go into Cover Flow view (which Apple should work into every device they will ever build) and voila! You’re browsing through albums as if you pulled them off a dusty shelf. It actually works well here, seeing as your song selection is limited by the 8GB of storage.”

LaptopMag Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The iPhone’s main advantage over other mobile devices is that it runs full Mac OS X and Safari. The Web and full HTML e-mail are just like you get on your desktop, only smaller, although the Safari browser lacks Flash support. You can manually access your POP3 and IMAP e-mail as well as AOL, Gmail, and Yahoo push e-mail. The iPhone lets you view Word, Excel, and PDF attachments, as well as images, but not PowerPoints.We found the earpiece a bit weak and calls were a bit fuzzy on our end of the line. “

PDAStreet Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out ” It is quite a different experience once you turn slide the slider and turn the iPhone on. Widget icons fill the screen like a road map centered in the middle of the iPhone universe. You can go anywhere from here. Along the bottom are the primary functions: phone, mail, Safari (Internet) and iPod. The camera icon is stuffed somewhere among the second-tier options—as it should be. On the other hand, the Internet is slow and unwieldy, at least initially. “

MacWorld Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The iPhone comes with a set of stereo earbuds that sound pretty good, exponentially better than the earbuds that shipped with the original iPod.Although I’m sure that third-party headphone makers will create numerous excellent alternatives, the good news is that the iPhone’s in-the-box earbuds are very good.The bad news is that Text can’t send MMS messages, which are similar to SMS messages but can contain multimedia. “

GearLive Reviewed Apple iPhone ang gave out “The network for the iPhone is both a good thing and a bad thing. The inclusion of EDGE data (it’s faster than dial up was way back in the day - but not by that much) for getting the internet from AT&T was a surprise, and makes browsing out on the road somewhat painful. Luckily Apple made up for this by adding a great WiFi implementation. The handoff between WiFi and EDGE is seamless if you have previously approved a wireless access point, and the WiFi power consumption actually appears lower than EDGE to me.”

Infosync Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The Web browsing experience is excellent, but navigation with Google Maps is simply mediocre.Google Maps is buggy and unreliable. Though it looks better than the same app on other smartphones, the interface, in an attempt to simplify, has removed some of the search options, and search results now come back way off the mark.Audio - Excellent:We always experienced static and dropouts with stereo Bluetooth, though sound quality can be quite good. Still, we don’t think Apple made a mistake by omitting A2DP support…”
